MAY 17, 1928 JOHN MITCHELL, 18 RICHMOND PLANET Two Urchins Sink to Their Death in Sewerage Water Playing with Rubber Ball--Death Trap Within Stone's Throw of Moving Traffic Grappling Hooks and Determined Men Locate Bodies of the Unfortunates. VOLUME. XLII. NO. 30 Two U to T Se Playing wit Trap Wi of Grappling H Locate Bo The drowning of two eight-year-old colored boys at the mouth of the Shockoe Creek flume, Thursday, May 25th, at about 4:00 P. M., caused a sensation in the neighborhood adjacent to 7th and Hospital Streets, where the accident occurred. Robert Toliver lived with his parents at 1113 Concord Street and Raymond Finch lived at 1715 Accommodation Street. The Seaboard Air Line watch man near the point, said that boys played inside of the flume every day. This flume or sewer is about eight feet square. There are two of them, side by side and also a circular sewer empties into the bed of the creek at its point. A SEEMINGLY INNOCENT AMUSEMENT A horse and wagon or a Ford car could be driven up into this sewer from one end to the other. It seems that the two little boys had a small rubber ball that they tossed up into the flume as far as possible. A stream of sewer water that flowed constantly would bring it back and they would stop it and throw it back again. The ball must have gotten by them and went down a water fall of about four feet to the stream below. Right at the mouth of the flume, the water has washed away the earth and left a depth of water more than fifteen feet deep. BGTH FELL IN These boys tried to reach the ball by one holding to the other. They slipped and both fell into the water. The body of the first boy was recovered in an hour, but the body of the other one was sucked under the mouth of the flume and it was after much effort that the boy's body was recovered. Funeral Director W. A. Price took charge of the remains and much sympathy was expressed for the families of the deceased.

CYCLONE (Preston News Service) WELCH, W. VA, June 1—Two persons were seriously injured and six others hurt when a cyclone wrecked three homes in the Woodmont section here in which three Negro families lived. The names of the victims were not learned. The funeral of Mrs. Maria A. Turner, of 1817 Decatur Street, who departed this life Friday evening May 29th took place last Tuesday afternoon from the First Baptist Church (Southside) at 2 o'clock, of which she had been a member nearly three score years and ten (68 years). Rev. Dr. Ransome preached a very sympathetic and soul-sitting sermon. Resolutions were read and solos rendered by Mrs. Fannie Young and Miss Elizabeth Bland. Mrs. Turner was well known and highly respected by the entire community and was familiarly called "Aunt Maria". She had been falling in health for many months, but she bore her sickness with patience and Christian fortitude until the grim monster death claimed her body and her soul took a flight on high. The pall-bearers were Messrs. C. Henry Robinson, C. H. Munford, A. Q. Powell, Archer Tyler Ed. Simmons and Junius Cogbill. The floral design were many and costly. The remains were interred in the beautiful family plat in Mt. Olive, the colored section of Maury's Cemetery. 'Rest in Peace'. The popular young undertaker, Mr. C. S. Cunningham officiated in his usual dignified manner. The stock company now playing at the Academy of Music is not only a high aggregation of theatrical talent, but the highest combination of this kind of talent. Manager James H. Doyle, himself has steadily grown in popular favor and his selection of players for the difficult task has been of the highest order. "Kikil", the French play and "The Whole Town's Talking", an American production have created a sensation. Certain it is that the regular road shows could not materially excel the work of these trained artists. To use a familiar southern expression, "They stay hitched and they work fine wherever you place them. This highest grade of stock" is all right. Manager Leo Wise knew that he was doing and displayed rare skill and attended the services of this remarkable aggregation of theatrical talent for this city. The price is as low as 25 cents plus the tax. The shows are of the $2.00 per seat kind in New York City. PRICE, FIVE CENTS THOMAS LEE CALLS ON PRESIDENT COOLIDGE RIVER DISASTER HERO PANS A VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, June 3—Thomas Lee, recently renounced by southern whites for his unselfish bravery in the rescue of nearly two score of lives in the Mississippi, a native of Memphis, Tenn., called at the White House Thursday and was received by President Coolidge. Lee saved 32 lives when the steamer Norman went down recently in the Mississippi river with a loss of more than a score of lives. He is an expert boatman and at the risk of his own life, made numerous trips to the sinking ship in a small motor boat and took the people ashore. He was recently recommended for a Carnegie medal for his remarkable act of saving lives. The people of Memphis have gotten up a subscription campaign to raise funds for the hero and up to last Wednesday the fund amounted to $1,895.85 and surrenuous efforts are being made by the campaign managers to greatly increase this sum. Lee was accompanied to the White House by Paul Block, of New York, owner of a Memphis newspaper and prominent advertising man, who has interested himself in Lee, and introduced him to President Coolidge.

SATURDAY....JUNE 6, 1925 READ THE PLANET and be happy If you are out of the city, let it visit your home for one year. SOME PEOPLE exist by scheming and planning to profit by the labor of others without working themselves. PARENTAL LOVE and filial regard is sadly on the wane these days. Selfishness is everywhere in evidence. IT IS USELESS to talk of trouble and hard times. It only aggravates the situation and tends to take all of the energy out of you. TRUE FRIENDS are worth their weight in gold, when the time of adversity is at hand. The other kind invariably run to cover. Our people are all right. Many of them have just been wrongly instruct ed and some of them have not been instructed at all. "BLOOD IS thicker than water" is an old saying, but with some of these people hereabouts, even blood thickness does not count. THOSE PEOPLE who are imagin ing that they can bring about an era of peace in this world purely through human agencies are sadly deceiving themselves. THE BOOTLEGERS are complaining about hard times and the people. who $ \mathrm{O} $ drink the product of these same bootleggers are complaining of hard times too. PROF. I. S. MOORE is sending us some "mighty" interesting letters these days and we hope to be able to give our readers the benefit of some of his weighty declarations. GERMANY is now functioning under one of the greatest monarchists on earth in the person of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, who is the legally elected President of the Republic. SOME PEOPLE are always disre spectful in their talk, looks and manner. They may get on apparently well at first, but they will have a misgely awakening and much trou ble before they reach the graveyard. DP. W. E. B. DUBOIS is touring the country and meeting with much success during his travels. DR. KELLY MILLER continues to write, but he was ominously silent with reference to the outbreak at Howard University. There is a time when "silence is golden" and this was one of the times. PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE is level headed and conservative. His decision not to be a party to a movie picture "stunt" at Annapolis, Maryland recently demonstrated that he had the right idea as to the importance of the presidential office. The movie picture people are at liberty to make a dummy to act as President of the United States, but not the President of the United States to act as a dummy. There are certain rules of propriety that the distinguished occupant of the White House is determined to have respected. Subscribe to The Planet A. B.

(Preston News Service) made the study: "Foreign-born women gain fully employed in Jacksonville were insignificant in numbers while, as would be expected, the majority of the women gainfully employed were Negroes. If the Negro women were alone considered, Jacksonville would lead Willess-Barre and Hanover Pa. Butte, Mont. and Passaic, N. J. in the actual and relative number of women gainfully employed'. In the array of almost amazing facts disclosed by the study are 1) Work distribution of Negro women in Jacksonville and 2) the fact that foreign-born women as competitors of American labor have not as yet made their competition harmful in the far South. In northern industrial cities, Negro women have suffered severely in work competition the foreignborn female workers having made fearful inroads in employment which might be more equitably distributed among native white and black women. On the other hand, even in Florida the colored women depicted in the study have shown marked initiative in employment. The 10.220 Negro women in the group studied were employed in outstanding industries as follows: Manufacturing 99; selling trades 157; saleswomen 101; telephone and telegraph operators 7; clerical occupations 59; ethnographers and typists 16; managerial and professional service 281; remainder in diversified occupations aside from domestic and personal service and gainful employment carried on in the homes. It is well known, of course that these loyal workers are discriminated against in wages, home facilities, educational advantages and in the protection of life, limb and property. Yet it is indeed a light in the darkness, a silver lining in the cloud that hovers over many cities of the south to realize that colored women are pressing forward in an atmosphere which has not yet become attractive enough to lure foreignborn workers who frequently mense the bread and meat of American workers white and black, where production is paramount and loyalty and patriotism secondary in the minds of a few greedy employers. ```markdown ``` ORGANIZING LABOR. The Pennsylvania Labor Journal of May 23 announces the decision of the Executive Council and the representatives of the national and international unions of the American Federation of Labor to launch a great organizing campaign among colored workers of America who, it is said are at last to be stimulated in whatever desire they may have to accept the joys and sorrows of the American Federation of Labor. Moving picture and lecture auxiliaries are to be used in the drive for member ship, which it is presumed will be carried forward upon the bases of both mixed and separate unions as the case may be depending upon the locality of the group workers. Notwithstanding resolutions frequently passed in convention by the parent organization the A. F. of L. in a national sense has not augmented its lists with Negro membership to any appreciable extent during the past few years. Here and there the BROTHER ORGANIZING LABOR TENNESSEE DAY. has been taken in, but stimulus from either within or without has not by any means set the world afire. The experiment then of a drive for Negro membership will be worth watching and it seems to us its success will be largely dependent upon the degree of preparation which the BRETHREN have made intraracially for such a project. Although the best of faith undoubtedly exists in this experiment the BRETHREN must remain racially clannish to a sufficient degree to be ready to cope with the segregationists—few we sincerely believe—which exist even in organized labor ranks. Care must be taken that the plan is elastic enough to see that the BROTHER is given a place of actual vantage at the council table and that his work interests are fully preserved along with those of his white organized contemporaries. For genuinely-good accomplishment we believe the mixed union is far the better, for work ought to know no color line and who gives a picayune after completion-whether red bricks were laid by a white or a black man. Suspicions must be removed from the minds of Negro labor which has ever been the subject to exploitation whether organized or unorganized; and this faithful contributor to American production must know that gilt-edged good will and sincerity thoroughly pervade the experiment. This is not the hole in the doughnut; it is merely a statement of the facts as we see 'em. ```markdown ``` TENNESSEE DAY. Friday, said to be 'unlucky' day in Washington, D. C., reversed itself on May 29th and gave way to celebrants from Sunny Tennessee, who fetched dined and entertained Tom Lee, the Mississippi River hero who had previously been escorted to the White House where he was received by President Coolidge, Lee, who was on his way to receive a Carnegie medal was thereafter taken in hand by the Tennessee Society, headed by Colonel Joseph M. Trigg and 'unlucky' day was quickly mad over into Tennessee Day in the Capital City. Colored Washington was mighty proud over Lee's presence in the city and their glee was highly visible all the way from You Street to Pennsylvania Avenue. Old Washingtonians, who remember Grant's return from Richmond said they hadn't seen such happy expressions on the BRETHREN'S faces since the Civil War Hero's homecoming. Lee, who recently snatched 32 drowning souls from the Mississippi River although thoroughly modest, was quite abashed at the furore which followed his visit to Washington and was a bit ill at ease before the clicking cameras or moviemen and photographers. The hero will at least be able to carry back home the pleasurable taste of northern hospitality, to whose donors he brought a living picture of life in the Southland which should be expanded to him and his kinsmen in measures commensurate with his and their contributions to fealty and bravery notwithstanding Darwin's evolution of man which is under the ban in Sunny Tennessee.

The following ringing words of Major General Boll, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:—"This is the best disciplined and best drilled, and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted fast that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome." THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.

Tabloid Magazine SIX --- This Week By Arthur Brisbane A $2,000,000,000 WORD. NATURE IN NO HURRY. ONLY HUMAN BABIES. "THE LORD HAVE MERCY." Mr. Woodbridge, new head of the Advertising Clubs of the World, says newspapers are the "pre-eminent advertising medium for seiling merchandise quickly." To the real business man it is more than that. It is the ONLY advertising force that can BUILD UP A NAME. Repetition is Reputation. And only newspapers can give a REPUTATION the REPETITION that creates value. Dollars put in to brick, mortar, steel and glass will tear down. Money invested in advertising, building up a name WORTHY to be advertised, will outlast all your factories. Ford's factories perhaps are worth fifty millions. The one word "FORD" is worth at least TWO THOUSAND MILLIONS. South Africa, land that produces gold, returns to the gold standard, imitating old Mother England. Down there, below the equator, under the hot sun, tens of thousands rush to a new gold field. About ten times as many blacks as whites are in the rush. But, needless to say, when the dust settles the whites will have the gold dust. What would happen to the gold standard and the world's finance if this new gold field should suddenly multiply by two, or ten or twenty the world's gold supply? That, however, will surely not happen. All through the ages, while men have cut each other's throats to get them, gold and silver have maintained their value, based on scarcity, with slight fluctuations. Providence seems to have arranged that for its mysterious reasons. AUTOCASTER Gaston B Means, former Daugherty aid, as he registered in at Atlanta prison to serve a two year sentence for conspiracy. He is also under indictment charged with forgery in the Daugherty investigation. FOUR ADVERTISER Merchants with goods to sell might profit by studying this feature. This fellow is in position to be nationally known if he would take advantage of his opportunities. He is "Rob Roy" the White House colleague who "craved into a picture with Pres.

HAPPENINGS has any supply of helium gas worth while. We get it after it has leaked up through the earth and in pools of natural gas. According to Dr. Elind, chief of the Bureau of Mines, "it takes 20,000,000 years for helium to leak from minerals and rocks and come within our reach." Many things happen in science that couldn't happen if this earth were only 6,000 years old, as was once believed. It took millions of years for evolution to change a creature as big as a fox, with seven toes, into the horse of today. It takes 20,000,000 years for helium gas to become available. It will take our sun 300,000,000 more years to cool off. A New York lady ran a baby farm. The babies died rapidly, especially if their board bills were not paid. One poor infant dug up after burial had a fractured skull. The rate of mortality was horrible. If anybody kept such a farm for baby dogs or cats, the "Cruelty to Animals Society" would probably supervise and regulate it. How does it happen that the so-called Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children knew nothing about the baby farm or its deaths? Dean Inge, who doesn't like to be called "gloomy," is in London, describing America. He says our "rushing energy is mostly pose" and the language we speak is something like the English language. On the whole the dean is friendly. In one of his essays he tells you that when St. Paul thought he was inspired he was really suffering an attack of epilepsy. If St. Paul could stand that, we ought to be able to stand criticism of our Yankee language. In Pennsylvania, William Cavaliar, fifteen years old, and a murderer, has been sentenced to die in the electric chair. The sentence wound up with "And may the Lord have mercy on your soul." The reporters thought the boy winced a little at that, and at the words about "Death—electric current—passed through body—until dead." The boy smiled as he left the court, and a few minutes later, in his cell, he was playing a popular song, "Katerina," on his phonograph. Fred Lennig, Warden in charge of the young criminal, said, "Listen to that music. He doesn't know what it's all about."

They are, "Don't get into a crowded auto; and "Don't accept rides after dark." Poem by Uncle John Again we sniff the vernal breezes; again we frisk beath the blue; again forsake our raucus sneezes—again forget we had the "fin." Again we don our kiddo breezes; again we seek the velvet sward; again the rural tom-tit presches; again the spring-song thills the bard. Again we haunt the blue grass mieder and waddle forth on pleasure bent; we try to do a double-header and rustle where the nellest went. Again the office-gloom repels us; again stern duty seems a bore; again our inward natur' tells us to get outside an' lock the door. When suckers, channel-cats an' croppies monopolize a feller's dreams, old Flanders Field with all its poppies can't keep us from our fashin' streams.

The WRECK takes five gallons from a passing car. Morgan from her father's ranch to the station, and she drives dully. At the point of a gun the WRECK takes five gallons from a passing car. McLee McSwen, foreman of a ranch along the route, makes them captives because he wants Sally for her. After the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up. They are in a camp of real bandits, are captured a second time, and then escape again. Fleeing the camp, they are fronted by Sheriff Bob Wells and a companion. Wells is Sally's fiance and she is a bandit's bandit who held up Underwood. He thinks the Wreck has kidnapped Sally, and says so. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "And don't finger that gun," added Sally. "Kidnapped? Do I look like a person who could be kidnapped?" "You never took the train," mut- ured Bob Wells, staring at her. Again he turned to the Wreck. "If you've kept her a prisoner," he said, "you'll never get out of the state alive." He agreed the Wreck. "Maybe," agreed the Wreck. Sally turned a look of amazement toward him. "Henry Williams!" she cried. "Don't you be a fool. And you, Bob Wells, put that gun away." "I-I don't get it at all," said the herder, helplessly. "Well, you'd better get it!" Sally claimed. "What do you mean by chasing me all over the country?" Bob Wells stared. "You heard me. I said chasing me. Do you think I'm a criminal?" The sheriff was dazed. "I wasn't pursuing you," he failed. "Yes, you were. You pursued me here, didn't you? I won't have Bob Wells. You wait till I tell Morgan." "I was out after a gang," said the girl. "How did I know—" "It's your business to know." "I didn't know it was my girl. I don't know it was any girl." "Your ggh!" said Sally. "Bob you're a whole lot stupider thought you were." The sheriff shook his head in a "You listen," commanded Sally. She told it, from the very beginning. She told it with gestures and high inflections, but she kept it all in orderly sequence. "So that's what happened and that's why I'm here," concluded Sally. Bob Wells considered it for a minute. "Why didn't you telephone home?" he asked. "If you can't understand, it's not worth while trying to make you." "It's mighty queer. I don't see how you can explain—" "What?" cried Sally. "A lot of things. You go running around the country with this man—God knows what kind of a record he's got—and you seem to think it's nothing at all." "Stop!" But the sheriff was recovering noise. He was a man whose rights had been trifled with. His bewilderment was giving way to resentment. "What kind of a position does it leave you in?" he demanded. Sally rested her hand on the Wreck's arm and regarded Bob Wells with a blistering stare. "And you're engaged to me," said the sheriff, with a grim finality. "Am I?" Sally was holding herself steady. "I think you've said so several times, Bob Wells." The sheriff was becoming uneasy. Try Your Luck With You owe this week's enjoyment to cross-word puzzle.

"Haven't I a right to an explanation?" "Possibly—if we were engaged. But we're not." "Sally!" She waved the protest aside. "Oh, it's not just because you don't trust me," she said. "I've decided, for instance, that I don't want to be somebody's cook." Bob Wells made a sign of bowl derment. "I reckon you know what I mean," said Sally. "But I don't." "Well, if you want an explanation, I have learned you said to Mr. Underwood, while you were eating supper. When you get a good cook the thing to do is rope her and brand her and don't let her get outside the coral. Remember that? I do. I'm going to marry one." "Remember that? When it comes to cooking I don't have to take off my hat to anybody." Perhaps you remember that one, too. You told him all about the wonderful wife you were marrying—it was a cook. Do you deny it? The sheriff swallowed and turned a dull red. "We just happened to THE SHERIFF'S JAW DROPPED; THE WRECK SWALLOWED HIS TONGUE. be talking about meals," he said. "Meals—and cooks. That's what you think about and talk about the most. Bob Wells. I never realized it until I listened at the crack of the door. Perhaps you'll marry a cook some day, Mr. Sheriff, but her name won't be Sally Morgan." The Wreck listened with a queer intermingling of triumph and dismay. "I reckon it's lucky on both sides," remarked the sheriff in a sarly tone. "Yes," affirmed Sally. "I'm not hankering to marry anybody who goes running around—" "Easy on that!" cautioned the Wreck. "Why, back at Underwood's they told me they had a married couple working for them," blurted the sheriff. "That was simply Henry's idea to cover a situation," remarked Sally, in a composed voice. "The Wreck stood glaring. "Wait till your old man gets the news," said the sheriff. "When Dad gets it he'll get it all," declared Sally. "What's more, he'll believe it, too. And if he wants to know if I'm engaged to anybody, I'll tell him Yes. 'I'm engaged to Henry Williams.' The sheriff law dropped. The Wreck about swallowed his tongue. 'I am engaged to Henry Williams,' repeated Sally, in a clear voice. "Is-is that true?" demanded the sheriff, looking at the Wreck.

"You mean you're going to take him to jail!" "I'm the sheriff," Bob Wells reminded her. She was incredulous for an instant. "Then, of course, that means you're going to take me to jail, too, she said. He shook his head. "You don't belong in this case," he said. "Well, you'll not take him with out me, Bob Wells." It seemed to the Wreck that he was merely a bystander. "As soon as I get to a telephone, I'll send for your father," said Bob Wells. "I'm no child; I know what I'm doing," she cried. "Where's the rest of Williams' gang?" inquired the sheriff. "Henry Williams hasn't any gang at all, unless it me," declared Sally. "Why don't you go out and find Nosey and Lefty and Denver?" "Who?" asked the sheriff. "Nosey and Lefty and Denver, I I said. Do you mean to tell me you never heard of them?" Sally looked at the Wreck and laughed. "What do you think of that, Henry? Here's a sheriff with a real gang in his county and he never heard of them." She turned to Bob Wells. "Maybe you can't find them, but Henry and I did. We spent all day yesterday and part of last night with them. But it's a fact, although I don't suppose you'll find it out until Henry end I are in jail and the hold-ups keep on happening." "Maybe you can show me this gang," remarked the sheriff. "Maybe we can," said Sally. "Henry, shall we show him the gang?" The Wreck shrugged. "What's the use?" he asked. "What would he do with 'em if he got 'em'" "Still, we might point them out, said Sally. "He might want to scold them." "They might talk back," objected the Wreck. "Not if he was polite to them, said Sally. The sheriff decided it had gone far enough. "It may look funny to you two," he said, "but if there's any gag around here that I haven't met with, I figure it might be health for Henry Williams, so I produce the evidence." "Well, we don't squirm going to wait for you," Sally, "but well try to show the place, anyhow." "Come on, then." The sheriff turned to his panion. "Keep your eye on this man," said.

The Planet, 311 N. 4th Street WHEN ONE THINKS of what John Brown did in order to be true to his own convictions, we marvel that Negroes to day can be so indifferent stupid and satisfied. Here was a man who laid down his life to prove to the entire world that his belief in the brotherhood of all men was something real and tangible. May 9th was the anniversary of the birth of this remarkable old crusader. And yet in city after city Negroes let it pass by with not a ripple on the sea of their smug complacency. On this day every year, every Negro parent should draw each little child around the parental knee and tell them the story of John Brown, Ossawatamie and Harpers Ferry. It is not near so important that Negro children know about George Washington as it is that they should know about John Brown. White teachers in the schools will not tell the story of John Brown and Negro teachers do not tell it as it should be told. This is a job for the Negro parent. ```markdown ``` nney) (Preston News Service.) Not that the child should be taught to mur- der—leave that to white Americans and the military murderers who on bring the wars—but John Brown should be set before them as a man who had a conscience to be satisfied. Our children in this day and time, need to be fired with this John Browa spirit. To know the right and be willing to make sacrifices that the right might prevail. Our children will come to this's position only through long and deliberate nurture. It is not to the interest of the "superior" race that we rear a race with this sort of ideals. Persons of this type are not easily lynched. They fight and die; they strike back and suffer, if need be. The one healthful sign in the whole sickly mess is the tendency of the younger Negroes to revolt. The students struck at Fsk; the Musicians refused to perform in Washington; the students struck at Howard, and in other places there are indications that the day of the bandana head Negro—low, high and in the middle—is about to pass to come no more. Of course, John Brown is not alone in this. There were others; Love joy and Tubman and Sojourner Truth; names that most Negroes have only heard but know not their significance.

This Pleasure=Mad Age Reaping Heavy Toll from Nation's Youth Gin and Jazz Cutting 10 Years From Their Lives DR. FRANCIS J. GIRTY Working Girls Try To Croud Too Much Fun Late Hours and Pleasure Bring Breakdowns THE midnight trail of gin and jazz leads to the imagine asylum. Thousands of young girls who follow that trail and defy the rules of conventional conduct are filling the country's psychopathic hospitals and asylums. Our prosperity and madness for pleasure are leading us to a state bordering on barbarism. Such is the warning sounded by Dr. Francis J. Gerty, superintendent of Cook county's great psychopathic hospital, who has committed thousands of men, women and children to insane asylums. ENDANGERS FUTURE Alcohol, says Dr. Gerty, is responsible for more physical and mental wreaks, especially among young people, than ever before.

"Petting parties, modern dances, lack of self-restraint and a crazed desire for fun are cutting from 10 to 15 years from the lives of thousands of girls and young men," he says. "The most serious effects of this abnormal state of affairs will not be felt for a decade or two. Those who lead fast lives today will then be raising families. Their children will be the real sufferers of this pleasure-mad age." The strain that results from late hours and excessive pleasures brings about a broken breakdown," he says. "And invariably mental collapse follows."

Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

KILL OFF WEAKEST Birth control is alcoholism's strongest ally in its fight to undermine racial standards. Dr. Gerty believes. Young married people who seek pleasures and lead "fast lives" haven't courage to assume responsibilities of parenthood, he says. And as a result the birth rate of three children to a family, conceded is necessary to maintain past rates of population increase, is being reduced. But in spite of the present outlook, all is not gloomy, says Dr. Gerty. The gin and jazz age will eventually lead to a weeding out of the morally weak, he believes. And the result will be a stronger race eventually, then ever. PASTE PAINT MAKES TWO paint of LEWIS linseed oil to a can and you have double quantity of it made, just the right consistency, most.
